Flu activity level could exceed the pandemic flu year of 2009

"I wish there was better news this week, but nearly everything we're looking at is bad news", Schuchat said at a news conference.

Schuchat made the remarks during a media briefing this morning.

The primary type of influenza this year hasn't changed enough from previous seasons to be considered a novel strain, Schuchat said. Flu seasons dominated by H3N2 tend to be more severe and result in more hospitalizations. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get the flu shot, as it helps reduce the chance of illness and can also lessen the severity of the symptoms if you do get sick. Schuchat said it isn't too late to be vaccinated against influenza, and even those patients who have been infected with influenza A this season could benefit from immunization, since people can get sick a couple of times. Adults 65 and older had the highest hospitalization rate, which is typical. As many as 63 children are reported to have succumbed.

At Doctors Hospital of Augusta, the tide of misery has yet to turn, said Dr. Thomas Zickgraf, medical director of the Emergency Department. "But the elderly, pregnant women, and other high-risk groups should be seen".
